:eek:
 
I like the color. I think I like the "orenjii danae" a bit more though. Did you pick up a piece of setosa phong?
 
it looks even better in person. :) ..

Ray,
I like the orange danae too.

Hopefully soon :D .. Oh I got the PPE already :cool:
 
I'm just a fan of encrusting montis =D

You got the PPE's eh? Looks like your collection is really taking off. I might have to swing by one of these days.

Oh, I still have your garbage can, but you probably wouldn't want it now... it ended up getting converted into a real garbage can. :D
 
oh man.. totally forgot about that ..

This coral encrusts and grows small branches at the same time.

Yup true PPE but only one polyp though :D .. After I rearrange the stuff a bit, you can stop by. I'm running out of room. The dang 50G is too small and I have too many junks in there :D ..
 
I was given a little frag of that last month, it's very cool. I have no idea how slow/fast it grows, but I =think= I've seen a little growth since I got it. That orange danae is pretty neat too - is that the one that Atlantis has, or is their's different?

It's not really an encruster. I saw the mother colony last summer. I'd say it resembles a thick plated Idaho Grape with branches stiking out of it.
 
Encrustica melted plastic cuppae? :p
I think I have some growing out the side of my barbeque where a beer cup got to close last year. But mines more red than orange!

I should have mentioned that I'm even a bigger fan of thick plating montis that have branches sticking out of them ;)

Phong -
I know how it is with our smaller tanks, lots of frags, not a lot of room. Thankfully nothing grows in my tank or I'd have to upgrade, hehe

I was hoping it was, but a friend told me that the Atlantis danae has brown polyps:(
 
I love both but I saw a thread that compared the two and the Danae is brighter. It's hard to believe but I saw the pics. Now I have to get the Danae. That is a really cool piece. I'm going to Atlants now so maybe I can talk them into fragging it for me.
 
I can't really tell the difference in person, Matt, but I think I'm colorblind now, anyway.

The Atlantis one is different than the Orenji, but it's still sexy. I know one guy in the San Jose area got a piece, but I think he sold it.
 
I would love to get both. Who was the person to discover the Orenji? I thought it was you Karl. I never got very far in Japanese but does Orenji mean orange? I looked it up in my text but it's not in there.
 
Matt, all I ever discover is how stupid I am for staying in this hobby:lol:

It's the Orange Danae that The Captive Reef had for $175. Unfortunately, Mike's not selling it anymore. He was cool with me calling it the Orenji. It just means 'an orange':p

Like I said in the other thread, some of the coral names are too effeminate. Orenji puts hair on its chest. Especially, when you yell it like a Samurai.

Yeah I just got a piece recently too, but I havent looked at it since sunday. I saw the reefready mother colony in person and it really pops out too.

Unarce: you into Samurai Champloo? I watch it occasionally on Adult Swim. Although my fav samurai cartoon right now is Afro Samurai, you can't beat having Samuel L Jackson do voices lol.
